It has been a long time now since I wanted to build this kind of collage. It finally happened after buying the cardboard, around three “photo sessions” and almost two hours of computer work.

Some technical details to remember:

• the cardboard should have the same ratio as the camera sensor
• the result has more effect if the cardboard has the opposite of the background color
• when taking the pictures, try various poses on the left/right hand side of the cardboard and have the cardboard very slightly rotated to the left and to the right
• keep the plan of the cardboard parallel to the camera to avoid perspective distorsion

This is a remake of a panorama that I created last year. For those interested on how this was done, go here.

Reflections in a Midtown Manhattan building. This is a blended combination of two other images. While I’m not a big fan of digital manipulations, I’m pretty much inspired by Made in Tokyo.
